Diary of a Seducer - Softcover
Diary of a Seducer is the disturbing narrative of a man who explores his own sense of detachment by deliberately arousing the passion of a young society girl whom he first sees fleetingly. The fundamental ambiguity at the centre of Diary of a Seducer lies in the conflict between the narrator's philosophical and intellectual search for aesthetic pleasure and the very suffering this search ultimately inflicts.

About the Author:
Soren Kierkegaard was born in Copenhagen in 1813, and studied theology, philosophy and literature. The death of his father affected him deeply and he decided that marriage was incompatible with his solitary nature and devoted the rest of his life to writing. Either/Or, of which Diary of a Seducer is an autonomous part, was published in 1843 and brought the author immediate fame.
Review:

"Pushkin Press’s smartly-presented new edition makes an appealing introduction to his work, complete with an afterword by the translator." - The Observer
